Durham police name suspect in fatal store stickup

A 23-year-old Durham man was identified Thursday as a suspect in the holdup of a convenience store on Broad Street last week that left one worker dead and another wounded.

Police said they have charged Timothy Leon Moore, who lives on Granby Street, with murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, felony conspiracy and robbery with a dangerous weapon. They were trying to find him.

Investigators said they are also looking for a second man they have not yet been able to identify from a surveillance photo and for a silver Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck with a black toolbox in the bed.

Nafez Jalal, 57, was working behind the counter at the Fast Food Mart at 2106 Broad St. on the night of April 27 when he was shot in the chest during the robbery. He was dead when police arrived. The second employee, 48-year-old Hassan Joalale of Durham, was shot in the leg.
